Abstract

Vascular anomalies can be correctly diagnosed in the majority of instances using the combination of clinical history, physical examination and imaging. In certain cases, the clinical work-up may be inconclusive or unavailable to the radiologist, and the imaging findings can be nonspecific, yielding more than one possible diagnosis. In this pictorial essay, we discuss diagnoses that can mimic vascular anomalies and highlight key differentiating imaging features.
